 Installing more aluminum paneling

transmission corner panel
Next thing to install were the transmission corners. At first they did not appear to fit correctly but they do.

This is the passenger side. On both passenger and driver side pieces I found it necessary to bend them slightly so the next panel (the rear cockpit panel) fit well.

Now I could put in the rear cockpit wall. About this time my hands were getting cramps.  lol

With each piece I would use those cleco pins to hold the panel in place while I marked and drilled all the holes.  Those are really handy devices.








interior panels
Next  I installed the rear cockpit corners. There are two pieces on each side.

The installation manual could use some additional pictures in this area.  Hopefully I got them in the right spots.

Hey I am starting to run out of rivets.  How can that be?  FFR gave me 600 of them.

 The transmission tunnel cover is not riveted in place yet. I am pretty sure I convinced myself to put the hand brake up on the transmission tunnel. So I am waiting before I rivet the cover in place.
